Arizona Cardinals' Kerry Rhodes outside the huddle

Each week, The Republic spotlights a Cardinals player for a series of on-the-spot, off-beat questions.

Question: What did you think about the game your kicker, Jay Feely, had on Sunday against the Broncos?

Answer: He had the game of his life, man. I mean, to make five field goals and score a touchdown in the game, that's great for anybody. That's huge, especially if you had him on your fantasy team.

Q: Tell me about it. I had Jay on my fantasy team, but I didn't make the playoffs so all those points went out the window for me. Bummer, huh?

A: That sucks for you then.

Q: Thanks a lot. So how are spending your day off today (Tuesday)?

A: I had to go into the Cardinals' facility and get some treatment.

Q: I didn't know you were hurt. What's wrong?

A: Nothing, I'm just getting older, man. My body needed some work.

Q: Oh. Well, you've got a lot of years left in this game, but can you tell us some of your plans for life after football?

A: I know I want to get in front of the camera and act a little bit, but for me, personally, I like to get behind the scenes, too, and I want to write and produce movies. That's one of my main goals and I'm going to make it happen. When I'm done playing, I also want to get into sports broadcasting. I went to school for it, so I'm planning on doing that as well.

Q: Who are some of your favorite football players that have gone on to have good Hollywood careers?

A: There's been a lot, but you have to start with Jim Brown, who did some pretty good movies. Terry Bradshaw's been in some smaller things, nothing nearly as big, but he's OK. And there's another guy, Terry Crews, who played in the league for a while and has been pretty successful in the movies. He was in "White Chicks" and just recently, "The Expendables" with Sylvester Stallone.

A: We belong to the same private gym in LA. The man works out hard all the time. He's in there doing the same things I'm doing, jumping around, doing pull ups, hitting the weights hard. The dude's 50-something years old (Stallone is actually 64) and it's pretty neat to see that.

A: I can go in there one day and see Sylvester Stallone, then go in the next week and see tennis champion Pete Sampras. Then the next day, walk in and see Halle Berry.

Q: Halle Berry?

A: Oh, yeah. It's a pretty intense training day when she's in there. I always make sure I'm looking good and all oiled up and ready to go when Halle's there.

Q: You've gotta tell me. What's it like to work out with Halle Berry in the same room?

A: You just got to make a lot of noise and make sure your lifting a lot of weight.

Q: Have you talked to her?

A: Oh, no question I've talked to her. She's a good friend of mine. She's a very cool lady.

Q: Got her phone number?

A: (Laughs) Maybe. I ain't tellin'.

Q: You're killin' me. Say, do you have any hidden talents? Like, can you sing or do impressions or anything?

A: Oh, yeah. I can carry a note in the shower, for sure. And I can do some impressions, too. You'll have to bring a video recorder down to the facility and I'll do some for you in person, how's that?

Q: You may regret saying that, my man. Hey, do you know you lead the NFL in interception return yardage this season with 174?

A: No, I didn't know that. But I should have had more. Definitely should have had more in that first St. Louis game and in the Minnesota game, I should have had one more yard and a touchdown.

Q: That's right. Do you still feel shame for that Minnesota play?

A: Yeah, well, it isn't shame. I mean, hindsight is always 20-20. All I had to do was let the guy tackle me and I would have fallen into the end zone for the score. But he ended up stripping the ball from me a yard short. It happened, but it won't happen again.

Q: Did you know you're the only player in the NFL with at least four interceptions and three fumble recoveries?

A: No, I didn't. You're stroking my ego pretty good today. I appreciate that. It's a blessing. I think I just happen to be in the right place at the right time.

Q: You played some quarterback in high school. Does Coach Whisenhunt have any trick plays up his sleeve to use you in the Wildcat formation perhaps?

A: You know what? I've actually talked to him before about that before. You never know. I may have a play here or there coming up. I definitely would love the chance to throw the ball a little bit.

Q: Got any favorite sports teams?

A: Oh, yeah. My favorite pro basketball team is the Dallas Mavericks. And my favorite college teams, there's two. I've got to say Louisville, because that's my school and I have a lot of love for them. But my favorite college basketball team is the Duke Blue Devils.

Q: Why the Mavericks?

A: I'm a big fan of Dirk Nowitzki. He's a great player but he still catches a lot of flack for not getting that championship and I like guys who are in that position and have something to prove.

Q: What's your favorite pregame meal?

A: I have the same meal the night before every game and it's kind of abstract. It's hot wings and cookie-and-cream ice cream.

Q: Cookies and cream and hot wings? What, are you pregnant?

A: (Laughs) I don't know where it came from, but it works for me pretty well.

Q: Weird. OK, if you could invite three people out to a private dinner - anybody - who would it be and why?

A: Martin Luther King, for sure, because of what an inspirational leader he was. My grandmother, who passedaway a while ago, would be No. 2. I didn't get a chance to really know how great a woman she was. And No. 3 I'd say would be . . .

Q: Halle Berry?

A: (Laughs) Nah, I'd probably say Bill Clinton. He seems like a cool guy. He'd be the guy sitting there telling jokes and keeping everybody even-keeled at the dinner.

Q: Nice choices, Kerry. What dream car do you want sitting in your garage right now?

A: It's the one I got right now. It's a 2010 Aston Martin. It's the first four-door Aston Martin ever made. It's called the Rapide and I got it right now.

Q: Sweet. Can I borrow it this Friday night?

A: Yeah, we can go out for a ride.

Q: No, I've got a date. Can I just have the car?

A: (Laughs) Oh, you just want the car? I don't know. You better take care of it.

Q: Trust me, I will. What's one place in the world you're dying to go visit?

A: Australia. I think I'm going to go there this off-season.

Q: OK, every week I keep asking the defensive backs about that rock you guys keep in the locker room, the one painted red with the name Bertha written across it. What's the deal with that?

A: (Laughs) We all took a sacred oath about that. I can't tell you a thing until the season's over. I can't disclose that yet.

Q: C'mon, man! Serious?

A: I can't. I can't. We made an oath not to talk about it until the end of the season. Sorry, man.

Q: OK, last one. Name me a teammate you think is going to rise up and save the day in Carolina this Sunday?

A: I'll say (safety) Rashad Johnson. He's been getting better every week and he's always around the ball. I can feel it coming for him, I really do.
